For all out timeless classic I'd say Timesplitters 2 or 3... they had a lot of flaws but they had fun, imaginative stories and great multiplayer.

Excluding pokemon I'd say i've sunk most hours into Skyrim, which I think is better than Oblivion but probably for the wrong reasons (I played Skyrim first...). I wish I could say Assassin's creed but it doesn't have the replayability... Or monster Hunter but I was never very good at it so couldn't get very far...

Then there are all the nintendo console games... TWEWY is one of my favourites on the DS, but I don't think the DS will ever bring about the best game I have ever played because the console itself is outdone in so many ways... and Super smash bros, Mario Kart and Mario Strikers/smash football are great games to play with friends but their story is just not there...

PC strategy games were great too, but I never got into their stories and preferred sandbox-style modes... and for me story driven games are the best.

I think that if I get a PS4, games like Destiny, AC: Unity, Infamous Second son and The Division will maybe change my mind, but for now i'm gonna go with Timesplitters 3.

Star Wars KOTOR made up a large chunk of my childhood and was extremely replayable! Although TellTale's the Walking Dead has to do it for me, I think that game is a crowning achievement in the video game industry

Well, I've been a lifelong gamer, so this is actually really hard to answer. There are so many fantastic games to choose from.

If I'm going for classics, games that redefined genres and forged the future of games, I have to say Super Metroid or Chrono Trigger. Both fabulous, both masterpieces. I loved them both, and Super Metroid made up a large chunk of my gaming childhood.

For pure nostalgia, I'm going with KOTOR or Ocarina of Time. So many hours sunk into both of those games.

Now, I'm a big believer in the idea that games continuously improve with the years. There will always be classics, games that blazed the trail and set in stone the path for the future, but they simply fall behind over the years in terms of technical achievement, production values, and the ever expanding role video games play in the world of art. If I take all of that into consideration, I have to say The Last of Us. It's a true masterclass, a tour de force of narrative and emotional depth. Never has a video game told such a gripping, unflinchingly human tale. And the gameplay, graphics, and artistry are nothing to scoff at either. It's fantastic game in every sense of the word. No game has ever made me feel the way The Last of Us did. I had fun playing it, but there was an ever-present gnawing in my stomach, an uncomfortable nagging reminding me of the heavy emotional toll the game takes on its players. At some points, my hands literally trembled. And at the end, I was speechless, something never happens to me after I beat a game.
